[blparent] talking thermometers?

[Tammy]

Hi,

Oh this is good to know.  I never feel safe putting a little one in a bath when they’re sick.  I’d much rather hold them and wipe them with a cool towell.  I’ve been very lucky though, the only one of my kids to have a fever is Colyn and that was last year.  I never had fevers when they were babies.  Of course, with another baby coming, that could all change.  Hopefully not though.  Anyway, thanks for the info, it’s helpful as always.

Tammy, they actually tell you not to emerse small children anymore.  It is safer just to wipe her with a cool wett  towel.

Hi,

I think Walmart carries one, or at least they used to.  I’d call them and see.  Meanwhile, have you given her anything advil, tylonal, or the like?  You probably already know this but you can put her in a tepid bath to help bring the fever down.  I hate when little ones get fever, or are sick, but the best thing you can do is to stay with them, keep them wrapped up, and let them sweat the fever out.  Her tempreture probably feels worse then it really is.  How long has she had the fever?  I wouldn’t let it go any longer than 12 hours.  If it does, I’d be going straight to the pediatrician or doctor.

Hey Y'all,
Does anyone know of a talking thermometer sold in a normal store? walmart, kmart, target, walgreens? Mine chose 4am to die. Savannah is burning up. I've spent an hour trying to find the spare that obviously wasn't returned to where it belongs. I need something today, not in 3 to 5 business days.
Thanks,
pipi
